RasPi Cam V2 High Definition - Raspberry Pi Camera Board

New - Raspberry Pi Pi Camera Module V2-Bulk Video Module

The Raspberry Pi Camera Board is a custom designed add-on for Raspberry Pi. It attaches to Raspberry Pi by way of one of the small sockets on the board upper surface. This interface uses the dedicated CSi interface, designed especially for interfacing to cameras.

The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 20mm x 9mm. It also weighs just over 3g, making it perfect for mobile or other applications where size and weight are important. It connects to Raspberry Pi by way of a short ribbon cable.

Raspberry Pi HD Camera Board V2

The Raspberry Pi High Definition (HD) Camera Board connects to any Raspberry Pi or Compute Module, allowing you to create HD video and still photographs.
It utilises the IMX219PQ image sensor from Sony which offers high-speed video imaging and high sensitivity.
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module offers reduced image contamination such as fixed pattern noise & smearing. It also features automatic control functions such as exposure control, white balance & luminance detection.

Connecting the Camera Module to Pi:
A 15 cm ribbon cable attached to the module slots straight into your Pi Camera Serial Interface port (CSI). Once connected, you can access the camera board via the Multi-Media Abstraction Layer (MMAL) or the Video for Linux (V4L) APIs. Alternatively there are libraries such as Picamera Python, and many others that you can find online.

Product Applications:
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module is ideal for HD videos and still photography. You can also try time-lapse and slow-motion.
Other applications include botanical, wildlife watching & home security.

The camera is supported in the latest version of Raspbian, Raspberry Pi's preferred operating system.
